Damned for their Difference
Deaf people have been classified as “disabled” throughout history, a term that separates all persons so designated from the mainstream in a disparaging way. Damned for Their Difference offers a well-founded explanation from an Australian perspective of how this discrimination came to be through a discursive exploration of the cultural, social, and historical contexts of these attitudes and behaviour toward deaf people, especially in Britain.
Written by Jan Branson and Don Miller, the book examines the orientation toward and treatment of deaf people as it developed from the seventeenth century through the twentieth century. Damned for Their Difference provides a sociological understanding of disabling practices in a way that has not been seen before. The book is a must for students interested in Deaf culture for its in-depth, background detail.
